Eco-friendly Downtown living is taking center stage at new condo development 5 Lofts on Penn.

Located at 806 Penn Ave., the $1.4 million project features five 1,600-square-foot units dedicated to healthy products and practices. “We thought the market would be interested in healthy living space,” says Patty Burk, with 9th and Liberty Partners. “They're condos for people who get it—it’s really an urban lifestyle. Every floor is different.”

Designed by Pfaffmann + Associates, the project features cork and bamboo flooring, no-VOC paints, recycled aluminum studs, and Energy Star appliances. The turn-of-the-century building includes a roof deck, private elevator entry and award-winning Lightolier fixtures. Contractor is North Hills-based LLI/CMI. An exhibition of archival photographs is planned for the building’s lobby.
